it’s a woman’s world

bon soir cheres amis! what are you up to? it’s a change for me to be blogging at this hour (minuit)! but i have a bit on my desktop including books and magazines to review, blog about and GiVeAwaY so what better time than the present?

the first is a magazine that comes out every so often and is devoured fresh off the press. it’s the ‘where women create’spin-off from the books. the issue they sent me is the one below. it is so rich and full of inspiration and creativity. i could’t show more than one or two spaces because there is just so much eye candy but i’ll start with my favorite cause it reminds me of my first store and the joy that it was to really let loose in a space.

I’m continually inspired by your creativity, and so appreciate the beauty you share with us. I’ve followed you since the early years with your Paris Apartment and I think it’s true, something’s really do get better with age. This past year as time has allowed my own creativity has been unfurling and I look forward to seeing what this next year brings. To have a room of my own to inhabit and explore all my passions will be something to strive for. Books, ephemera, textiles, driftwood, shells, art and photographs will all cohabitate together. Happy New Year to you and thank you from a fan in Vancouver, BC.

hi sue, thank you so much for your sweet comment! it really means a lot to me and i’m glad you said hello after all this time! i bet your collection is gorgeous and it sounds like you have a beautiful space to explore your creativity!

Hi!
I just opened a shop and I am looking to get it out there! All of the profits are aiding me in college and while I study and travel during that time. The shop is named Sweet Treasures (coinciding with my blog Sugar Pirate). I sell a variety of items and plan on adding about 12 new items within the next few days. Mostly, I sell kawaii/decoden items but there will be a variety. I have included a smoker’s sections for adult and will be selling lighters and ash trays. I also plan to add some flower crowns and other accessories. I hope you enjoy!

Oh my how glad I am to check my email once more this evening! lucky me! I absolutely L O V E Where Women Create, have all the books and mags next to my princess in the pea bed! :) Happy New Year to you, lovely post as usual, Ive been editing but never and I mean never get rid of any of my fave magazines! I would just love to have this issue! thanks for adding me to the mix :) kat -^.^-

Fairly new to your site and blog, but deeply inspired! I’ve known since I was a little girl (42 now, but still a young girl at heart 😊) I’d end up in Europe for good one day and until that day finally comes, I find sweet pleasure reading your posts and perusing the beautiful pics. I study each picture and love the feeling I get from zooming in to see the details… I adore all things Paris!!

Thank you for your continued works. I look forward to reading each one ❤️

i think 42 is pretty young personally, you’re not even 1/2 way there! i hope your dream of a life abroad comes true. till then we can enjoy the beauty that’s stateside. with these creative women our cups runneth over!

Love these lovely spaces that have evolved over time….would be a labor of love to make a space my own and have all the things that I have collected around me. The beauty of a room would take some time to build from the ground up, but oh!! the joy of the journey! Thanks for your post…off to the store to pick up this issue of “Where Women Create”!

As an Artist and Jewelry Designer and a totally creative woman for all of my 74 years and still going strong, I Love, Love the beauty and French expressionism page after page in this magazine. Thanks for featuring it on your blog. Reservations already made, I will be traveling to Paris for my 8th time this fall with my dear husband for our 30th wedding anniversary and my 75th birthday. I cannot wait!

Thank you for introducing me to “Where Women Create,” very very inspiring and cozily cluttered, a warm atmosphere on a very frigid day in the Northeast. I would love to have your generous giveaway on Monday!

I love that magazine! I do wonder how much styling goes into their photo shoots, though. I know that when interiors are photographed for design magazines they take a lot out, move things, bring things in just for the photo shoot. I enjoy seeing these inspirational spaces in their best light, but I wish they would also show us what it looks like when the resident artist is at work in the throes of a project, capturing their creative process as well as their studio décor.

oh you know a lot of work goes into every inch, every fold of a pattern, the details, the lighting. but they have to have the bones in the first place so even with the smoke and mirrors they’re still special spaces to behold.

Hello! Thank you for writing your blog–the pictures are always stunning and inspirational. Eye candy, every one of them. I too, love Paris–I have been twice and can’t wait to go again someday. 2014 is a big year for me; empty nest now, retired and moving across the country to have my own little fiber art studio in Southern Oregon. I would love to see where other women create–I’ve never seen this magazine/book before (not sure of type of publication?). My little ‘studio-to-be’ could use some TLC and ideas from other creative women. I love the pics above! Thanks for the chance to win a copy, and again, for your lovely, lovely blog.

I am new to, “Where Women Create” and it looks like a periodical I would LOVE!

Also, how could anyone not be inspired by these two ladies! I NEVER have understood, why, people choose, sterile, bland workspaces. ??? If I were not going out of town Tuesday, I would be “playing” domestic bliss, right now!

As always, thank YOU for the inspiration! I so wish I had known about you, when you were in NYC, and had The Paris Apartment. I am baffled why I only recently, came to know you.
